Employment Offers and Acceptance Policy

Accepting a Full-Time or Internship Job Offer

Students should carefully consider any job or internship offer they receive. In order to provide students with enough time to complete their employment search and make an informed decision, employers participating in our On-Campus Recruiting program have agreed to comply with the listed deadlines.

You do not need to accept an offer immediately. It is standard practice to say "thank you" and let the recruiter or hiring manager know that you will get back to them with your decision. Students should wait to receive a written offer before formally accepting any job offer. Companies consider a verbal acceptance as a formal offer acceptance.

You should not hold on to multiple offers for an extended period of time. Make decisions as quickly as possible and communicate with recruiters regarding the status of your decision.

Once you have accepted an offer of employment you have made a commitment to that position and company. Any student who withdraws acceptance of (i.e. reneges) an offer obtained through NACElink and/or the On-Campus Recruiting program will be subject to immediate consequences, which may include suspension of recruiting and NACElink privileges. Students in violation of this policy will be required to attend a workshop and meet with a counselor to regain access to their NACElink account.

Once you have accepted an offer you must remove yourself from any other interview processes you have started. Contact Employer and Alumni Relations immediately at 212-854-2033 or CD@barnard.edu if you need assistance cancelling interviews scheduled through OCR.

Consider all options available to you. You should not hold on to multiple offers for an extended period of time. Make informed decisions as quickly as possible. Meet with a BCD counselor if you have any questions or concerns.
